Jin Liu didn't dare to say anything else for a moment.

Although he was a dignified North Korea's political leadership, there was no nobility in front of even a small Qiang general in charge of sending the imperial edict in the Ming Dynasty.

Even Jin Liu had to forcefully squeeze out a smile: "Please calm down the anger!"

There is no way. In this era, China in the Ming Dynasty was indeed the world overlord, so the Han people in this era were very tough in front of the outside world.

Yuan Chonghuan also asked the King of Korea Li Jue: "Your Highness! Who can be despised by the Celestial Kingdom and Japan, who can be despised by the Japanese Kingdom, and who can't be despised by the Japanese Kingdom, I believe you should know it! You can go out if you go out this time, and you can go out if you don't go out! Otherwise, our Emperor of Ming Dynasty will question your loyalty, and once my Emperor of Ming Dynasty no longer trusts you, you must be clear about the consequences! In addition, according to what Yuan heard, there are censors in my Ming Dynasty who have submitted a request to restore the throne of Guanghai Lord! As for the revenge of Japan, what are you afraid of? As long as the Celestial Kingdom is unwilling to let you die at the hands of the Japanese slaves, you will not die. If the Celestial Kingdom is willing to let you die, let alone Japan, even a small country in Ryukyu, you can die! Please prepare your army to go out as soon as possible, otherwise the one who is conquered first will not be the Japanese."

After hearing Yuan Chonghuan's words, Li Yu sighed inwardly, and then said with a forced smile: "Please calm down your anger! It is an honor for our country to serve the Celestial Empire! I will issue a royal order to order the military officials to discuss the issue of sending troops."

Seeing this, Jin Liu sighed secretly. He did not expect that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would work hard to expedition for the lives of several merchants, and even wanted North Korea to follow the expedition.

But no matter what, North Korea ultimately had to obey Zhu Youxiao's will and let the naval commander Li Gui personally lead the Korean navy to go to Japan with the Ming Navy.

Moreover, North Korean King Li Ni asked Li Gui to take North Korea's most elite imperial guard navy and the best warships to go out with the Ming Navy.

Although it was a very loss for the monarch and ministers such as Li Jue to go to Japan, they still care about face and do not want their navy to be despised by the Ming Dynasty.

However, even though Li Gui had already taken his best warship of the North Korean Navy to go out with the Ming Navy, when his North Korean Navy appeared in front of the Ming Denglai Navy fleet, he still seemed to be in comparison.

Because the sailing warship of the Ming Denglai Navy's Navy's hull alone has the momentum to crush all the warships of the North Korean navy in terms of its hull size.

The key is that the Ming Dynasty's sail warships also crushed North Korea's main force of hard-built sailing ships in number.

Because the Ming Navy has strong sailing stability and is easier to control navigation, some hard sailing ships have been built to serve as flagships and serve as defense and logistics supply.

However, even in terms of hard sailing ships alone, the hard sailing ships made by the Ming Dynasty imitated treasure ships also crushed the Korean navy in terms of size and quantity.

Therefore, when Li Gui led the Korean navy to the expedition and saw the entire Edo Bay area full of large Ming warships, he was shocked to the point where he didn't know what to say.

"How powerful is the Celestial Empire? It has built so many large giant ships! Japan's luck is really bad, and it offended the Celestial Empire!"

Li Gui couldn't help but think.

But if he had learned more about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he would have known that the current Ming Dynasty was just a recreating its majesty prestige at the previous sea. It was just that the Ming Dynasty used civilized methods to promote its national prestige, but the current Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao did not intend to promote its national prestige in civilized methods.

The reason is very simple. Even if the former is civilized, it will not be praised by scholars at home. If it leaves a good reputation, it will only be scolded by scholars as a waste of national strength and not worth the loss. It will only satisfy the emperor's personal desire to be very popular. However, it will not be grateful to the outside world because of this civilized method. When the Ming Dynasty's national strength declined, these unfamiliar ungrateful wolves should bite the Ming Dynasty and bite it, and they will not be ruthless, and even compete to bite it. Especially when the Western colonists came, these indigenous people who were once favored by the Ming Dynasty for Zheng He's voyage to the West still actively acted as accomplices of these Westerners, ruthlessly massacred the Han people, and even even in the 1990s of civilization.

Therefore, in this era, Zhu Youxiao would rather choose the latter, and use only to pursue the maximization of his own interests, or even use the most cruel means to promote his national prestige, because he knew that in this era, the rules were different from those in later generations.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also has his own understanding of the so-called reputation. He thinks that good praise is not something he can get by doing good things, but only if he has the ability to hurt others, he will get good praise. At that time, even if he does a very small good deed, he will be praised.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believed that as long as his Ming Dynasty was strong enough, no matter how domineering and arrogant his empire was, some people would actively praise him as the incarnation of civilization and the angel that brought peace. Even if his people became cruel and fierce because of his influence, they would be praised as high-quality people.

Just like now, Zhu Youxiao, who often confiscates his family and exterminates his clan, has been punished by him and often praised him as the most benevolent monarch of all ages. Even the times he was praised by civil servants far exceeded the times that Ming Renzong and Ming Xiaozong were truly good to civil servants. Many of them praised him from the bottom of their hearts and took the initiative to whitewash him, because if these people want to legalize the benefits they get, they must first whitewash their emperor.

Of course, Li Gui, the commander of the North Korean naval army, has not yet praised the Ming Dynasty. Now he has only developed a sense of awe after seeing the powerful warships of the Ming Dynasty.

The Navy of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty was led by Shen Yourong himself.

Shen Yourong is a veteran over 60 years old. He has rich experience in water wars, especially in fighting against Japan. Similarly, he is also one of the people who know Japan the best in this era. He always believes that Japan is not a reassuring neighbor, and will sooner or later bring disaster to his China.

Therefore, Shen Yourong has always wanted to completely destroy Japan to prevent its troubles.

Fortunately, the emperor gave him such a chance in his twilight years.

Shen Yourong naturally attached great importance to this battle against Japan. He had made corresponding preparations. After arriving in Nagasaki, he first asked Chen Xin about the shogunate after Nagasaki.

But what Shen Yourong didn't expect was that the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan had no intention of seeking justice for its civilians. He even acknowledged the occupation of Nagasaki by Chen Xin's troops and took the initiative to give Chen Xin food.

"Now, after entering the Tokugawa era, Japan is far inferior to Toyotomi Hideyoshi! Since this Japan has no intention of expanding the war, we can only report to the court first, wait for the court's arrangements, and stay in Nagasaki to respond to the possible attacks that the Tokugawa shogunate army may launch at any time."

Chen Yourong said to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin also agreed with this and said: "This Tokugawa Hidetachi is not simple. He knows that he will be in trouble with his plans. Therefore, he did not rashly send more shogunate troops to Nagasaki for fear of losing more."

...

A few months later.

As soon as the capital was snowing, Zhu Youxiao received a report from Chen Yourong.

"Since Hidetachi Tokugawa doesn't want to fight, then negotiate! You must always understand this matter, and immediately organize the nine ministers to participate in the court discussion and discuss how to discuss it!"
